Love all of the ingredients in this and it's very easy to make. I cooked the quinoa in veggie broth for a bit of extra flavour, which I think was a good thing. Otherwise I made as written except that I was out of carrots so used an orange bell pepper instead. 2 cups of dry quinoa is definitely a lot - this made the perfect amount for a potluck dish though! Thanks Debbwl...made for ZWT4.

This is a wonderful recipe with a very pretty presentation and yummy taste!<br/>I loved the raisins in combination with the nuts, quinoa and curry! What a great idea to add fruit to your pilaf! Mmmm!<br/>I left out the apricots, but doubled the raisins as Im not a fan of dried apricots. I think next time I might even add 1/2 cup more of raisins as I think they really make the dish!<br/>For me the peas and carrots were a great touch and I would not leave them out.<br/>All in all a great dish that I will make again, but adding in some salt and maybe a touch of cayenne.<br/>THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this great and versatile recipe with us, Debbie!<br/>Made and reviewed for Veggie Swap #26 September 2010.

Yummy! I'm trying to eat more quinoa and this is a surefire way to do it. It was delicious! I used walnuts instead of almonds and left out the peas. I also didn't cook the carrots. I used Recipe #16399 for the roasted quinoa. It did need some salt and pepper for us. Will make again. Made for Newest Recipe Tag Game 2009.
